Design Criteria for Minimum Passing Zone Lengths: Operational Efficiency and Safety Considerations

Moreno Chou, Ana Tsui; Llorca García, Carlos; Lenorzer, Annique; Casas, Jordi; García García, Alfredo (National Academy of Sciences, 2015)

Passing zones are provided to improve operational efficiency of two-lane highways where passes can be performed safely. Minimum passing zone lengths of 120 m were established in MUTCD and Green Book, although some studies ...
DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF SPEED KIDNEY, A NEW TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICE

García García, Alfredo; Moreno Chou, Ana Tsui; Romero Rojas, Mario Alfonso (National Academy of Sciences, 2011-09)

Traffic calming has been widely applied to urban areas in recent decades to moderate speed and traffic volume. Because most measures used are physical, a vehicle must modify its path and speed. A benefit of traffic calming ...
Development of a new microscopic passing maneuver model for two-lane rural roads

Llorca García, Carlos; Moreno Chou, Ana Tsui; Lenorzer, Annique; Casas, Jordi; García García, Alfredo (Elsevier, 2015-03)

Microsimulation is a useful tool to analyze traffic operation. On two-lane highways, the complexity of passing and the interaction with oncoming traffic requires specific models. This study focused on the development of a ...
Diseño y aplicaciones de un vehículo instrumentalizado: observación de maniobras de adelantamiento

García García, Alfredo; Llorca García, Carlos; Moreno Chou, Ana Tsui; Pérez Zuriaga, Ana María (Asociación Técnica de Carreteras, 2012)

[EN] Traffic data collection on rural highways or urban areas is a key tool of highway engineering. Data collected by instrumented vehicles allow researchers to observe driver’s behavior. This technique is useful to study ...
